Operation: Let's look at the pros and cons of belt timing and chain timing

If you've ever wondered whether belt timing or chain timing is better, this is the video for you, because we'll look at the pros and cons of both types: the chain can be link or vice , the latter should be more resistant, but for the moment they are mounted especially on motorcycles. The belt, on the other hand, can be dry or in an oil bath; the latter are not so efficient because parts of the belt risk ending up in the oil. The belt is certainly cheaper also from the point of view of the spare parts, moreover the chain is placed in such a way as to have to disassemble even more stuff. From the point of view of duration, however, the chain should last longer; if the coupons are done with the right timing, many car manufacturers guarantee it for the life of the engine. As far as external influences are concerned, the chain is completely protected from them, while the belt risks suffering from oil leaks, coolant leaks, or service belt breakage. And who better warns when he is about to give way? The chain tends to warn you with strange noises, while the belt leaves you on your feet at any moment. As for noise, of course the belt is much quieter. A point in favor of the belt: The water pump is also connected to the belt, so if the service belt breaks, we go back home, which does not happen with the chain, where the service belt also includes the water pump. 'water. At that point we are stopped. Let's talk about ease of processing: phasing a belt timing system is much easier than a chain one. But which of the two gets more power? The belts now have very high performance, but the best performing motors are all chain-fed. So we have to understand what we want to do with our car, and how we want to use it.
